This book tells the story of Susan B. Anthony in a fact like way. It tells her story but is authentic. This book has few pictures and the ones that are included are black and white but still show important images of the time period.

[Donna Bausch]

This book talks about the hard times Susan B Anthony went through to fight for women's rights. After being turned down many times, she finally succeeded.
